Screening of bacterial colonies with X-gal and IPTG (alpha complementary)
The chromogenic substrate X-gal can be mixed with bacterial cultures, mixed with solubilized top agar and spread on selective culture plates. This experiment is

DNA binding protein assay
This experiment was used to detect sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins in crude extracts.
DNA preparation of salmon sperm stretcher
Using this scheme, well-sheared, high-quality salmon sperm stretcher DNA can be obtained, which can be used in transformation experiments and other experiments
λ Mass culture (low multiplicity infection) experiments with phages
Mass preparation of λ phage can be obtained by either low-mass infection of bacterial cultures or high-mass infection. Immediately after low magnificatio
Determination of DNA content in λ phage progeny and lysates by gel electrophoresis experiment
This program describes a method for rapid estimation of the DNA content in λ phage protospecies. The method can be used firstly to find out whether the y
Lysis of colonies and DNA binding assay to filter membranes
This protocol describes how to release DNA from a clone carrying a recombinant plasmid and immobilize it on a nitrocellulose filter or nylon membrane, a method
Preparation of λ phage proto-species experiments with small quantities of liquid cultures
High-titer λ phage progenitors can be prepared from small quantities of liquid cultures. This method was first used by Leder et al. (1977). In general, i
Extraction of λ phage DNA from large-scale cultures with formamide
Instead of SDS/proteinase K, formamide can be used to remove the shell from purified phage particles. This method is not very efficient, but in a sense it is fa
Preparation of λ phage DNA that can be cleaved by a single restriction enzyme and used as a cloning vector
In some cases, prepared λ phage DNA can be used for cloning after simple digestion with restriction enzymes. However, this option is only feasible if the
